climbing stairs instead of elevators, and all the touristing was TONS of epxloring places on foot, climbing steps of towers, hiking caves and mountains... so if you do stairs more, walk instead of taking the bus 5 stops (when you have time), etc.

I have to support that. I always take the stairs at Uni (mainly down, because only an idiot would regularly climb 15 floors of stairs), and i get off the bus earlier and walk it a bit, as well as the walk to the bus stop in the city instead of the very quick walk to the stop just outside uni.

I picked the cheapest stuff, and got what i paid for. Next time i'm near a chemist i'll drop in.

Yes. This stuff was about $10 more than the regular stuff, but so amazingly worth it.

"Who buys U2 records anyway? It's just music for plumbers and bricklayers. Bono, what a slob. You'd think with all that climbing about he does, he'd look real fit and that. But he's real fat, y'know. Reminds me of a soddin' mountain goat."
"And as for Bono, he needs a colostomy bag for his mouth."

And my deep reasoning for not having Facebook (or Myspace) is that I really don't want people that I used to know in real life contacting me online. My past is my past and I want to leave it in the past. I was a different person then, and the last thing I want is some random person I haven't talked to in five years randomly finding my Facebook and trying to add me.

Even if I used a false name, they'd find me. Because I'd inevitably get friended by my sister, and some of them have her friended, and it's just a stalkery cycle

OHH Fine

But there ARE a lot of security measures, including one that lets you tay invisible to all people unless you invite them to view yoru profie, and they wouldn't, in turn, be able to see you on anyone else's profile, just saying

i also lose other shit and wish that i could call it like i do when my phone is missing!

I routinely use my phone's light to read tram timetables at night at stops that lack decent lighting.

And yeah, I wish I could call my iPod ...

So, no suggestions for the next thread's location? Who wants to make the next thread anyway? Somebody who doesn't do it normally would be cool.

"Pharmacy" and "chemist" are synonymous here. Check out my local chemist, to the left of the tram:

In case you can't read it, it says "ALBION PHARMACY" below "CHEMIST".

YOU JUST WANTED TO POST A TRAM PHOTO

i know that...but the euro system at least is that the chemist is someone you can consult for advice as you just told ian to do. whereas here, i dunno about mom n pop pharmacies that don't exist anymore, but the pharmacy is a tiny part of a "drug store" with lotion and hair products and makeup and tampons and paper towels and toothbrushes and greeting cards and office supplies and random other shit and holiday candy. and the pharmacists fill perscriptions but aren't really consulted and don't really know the products outside the perscriptions to recommend a specific one for a specific problem.
